Chapter 283: Lover\'s Quarrel?
Nell looked at the black devil in front of her with a sharp gaze, but it had no effect on the devil. He didn\'t answer for a few seconds, but Nell waited while struggling to heal her wounds.
"The answer to the question lies in what is hovering near you. The people of this world will not win the battle against that unknown race without the presence of absolute power. Countless casualties will only fall again at the inevitable battle. Their sacrifice to strengthen their God for victory before the decisive war is an honor for them to receive." Shiro stared at the giant shadow ball with a strange gleam in his eyes.
Nell\'s eyes widened in realization, then she glanced down. The sealed zone with thousands of cursed creatures sleeping below the altar was being extracted for something she didn\'t understand yet.
The blood ritual rune lit up brightly beside the main altar that held the cursed creatures in check. So, the giant energy ball was the essence of the sealed creatures\' curse energy, forming like a mass of Dark Magic?
She knew it, the giant ball would be absorbed by Shiro, and with it, he could gain more power and possess some abilities of the cursed creatures.
Earlier, she wanted this stubborn man to talk, even by force, but she was thinking differently now.
"Have you gone mad and lost your mind!? It\'s the blood of more than 5 thousand of your loyal followers! What have you done in the last 6 thousand years since your awakening!?" Nell exclaimed and immediately plunged down. She had to destroy the blood ritual rune to stop Shiro\'s evil plans.
However, the Evil God suddenly appeared in front of her and threw herself far away with Dark Magic.
*Bam!*
"That\'s why I\'m no longer the Devil God, but the Evil God. Leave me and my plans alone, Firefly. You just have to go and mind your own business." Shiro muttered sarcastically, but decisiveness sparkled in his red eyes.
Nell stabilized herself in midair before crashing into a cliff. It was just a simple sweep of Shiro\'s hand, but it significantly impacted her. Her magic, protection, shield, and barrier were destroyed only by that Dark Magic attack.
"It\'s so wrong, you foolish idiot! You\'re always, you always think of yourself as the right one. Have you forgotten Zadtris\'s prophecy? Absolute power has come as predicted!" Nell tried to reason with Shiro while healing herself once again with Holy Magic.
"Meh, and you believe that old man\'s bullshit? This is my third ritual in the last thousand years. I\'m sure it will work with perfection. Hurry up and go, or I won\'t have mercy on you in the next attack." Shiro narrowed his eyes at the old man\'s name.
He had had his own confidence ever since he awoke from his temporary death, and he needed to perfect his new power. Curse energy to eradicate cursed creatures... what a brilliant plan. Yet! This Little Firefly came uninvited to interfere at a crucial moment? No one was allowed to foil his plans.
"That\'s Zadtris\'s sealing method. He and we fought painstakingly in the past to seal all those cursed creatures! Are you going to break the seal and make them free?" Nell repaired her barrier around herself to protect her from the cold and other foreign energies.
"Tsk, this Zadtris, that Zadtris, you care so much for that old man, huh? He\'s the strongest among the Gods and Goddesses, yet he\'s dead after all of that. What do you expect? We\'re at the end, and all of the sealed areas will collapse in a few years. I will become that absolute power after refining this new power. Go now, or I will kill you. You know nothing about my plans." Shiro frowned, but he still had compassion for Nell. He didn\'t kill Nell right away. The proof was solid, and she was aware of it.
"Why, you... Of the 33 of us, only five are still alive. I can only find five. Have you forgotten the rules of the Gods and Goddesses? My big sister is still alive, and there is Elena around. Elena is a beyond measure top-tier Goddess. We will surely win at the predicted time. Throw away that damned power, please. You will only fall under the corruption of that curse energy from within." Nell tried to plead because she didn\'t want Shiro on the wrong side.
Moreover, she didn\'t want her acquaintance to become a God-level cursed creature because of the risk of losing one\'s mind due to curse energy. She had no courage to imagine if that happened.
Shiro just snorted and didn\'t want to talk anymore. He felt it was a waste of speech to make this little Goddess have the same understanding as him. The rules were set up for the weak. When the strongest died, then the rules were broken.
Who was Elena? The five God-level beings weren\'t enough to achieve victory against cursed creatures... Not even if the eight races banded together to help. Moreover, God-level cursed creatures hadn\'t calculated for all of that.
When he was preparing an attack to make Nell thrown far, far away... Suddenly, a golden light shone brightly from above.
The Evil God and the Goddess of Blessings glanced up with different expressions etched on their faces. Surprise for the former and relief for the latter.
Elysia finally arrived at the location, and she also found Nell. The Goddess of Blessings was battered. She glanced at the two sides with her golden eyes, then at the gigantic ball of energy hovering in the air. After that, to the altar and the blood rune on the ground.
Elysia\'s presence made Shiro and Nell silent for a moment, while Elysia observed the surroundings while talking to Elena.
\'Ely, make sure to speak in a lofty and oppressive tone. You are superior to all, and you must.\' Elena suggested before Elysia say anything by mouth.
\'En, affirmative.\' After saying that in mind, Elysia looked back at the black devil with a large body like a three-meter ogre. Then towards the winged girl whose size was no more than 12 centimeters. The giant devil and the smol fairy... What kind of fairy tale about forbidden love was this?
She thought that something urgent and dangerous had threatened Nell, but apparently, it was not as severe as she expected.
"Oh my, oh my... What do we have here? Lover\'s quarrel?" Elysia tilted her head slightly and rested her cheek on her hand.
"I\'m not her lover!"
"I\'m not his lover!"
Shiro and Nell replied loudly in unison.
"Ara, so harmonious and in unison. What kind of dark energy ball is that? I got a bad feeling from there." Elysia glanced at the giant ball of energy, but she remained wary of the Evil God before her.
"Elena, the Goddess of Light! Thank you for coming. Please help me beat this Evil God into oblivion. It\'s curse energy. This stupid devil is doing another stupid thing." Nell waved both hands high with an excited expression.
But that made Shiro frown even more. So, this Goddess, who emitted the dark gold energy aura, was Nell\'s ally? The Elena that Nell was referring to? It would be difficult if this newly arrived Goddess intervened as well. Shiro pondered several things in his mind.
"Curse energy, cool..." Elysia glanced at the giant energy ball once again, wishing to level up a lot. Yet, Elena immediately scolded her. She shouldn\'t be distracted under any circumstances.
"Hum? Why should I comply with your request, Nell, the Goddess of Blessings?" Elysia turned to look at Nell, and the latter stared at her in shock.
"But, but, you came because of my request through your disciple as an intermediary, right? I will do anything for you with terms and limits." Nell tried to persuade the most potent possible ally. However, the possibility was a bit small because of Elena\'s unforeseen change in attitude.
Elysia just ignored Nell\'s words and floated closer. "You are injured. Let me heal you." She put one hand under Nell and the other to cast healing magic.
Nell only allowed herself to be bathed in a warm, comfortable light. It only took one second, and all of her wounds were healed. The injuries caused by the curse energy just vanished with magic? But how?
As the little Goddess wondered in her mind, she was suddenly grasped by \'Elena\'. Not only that, she was encased within the energy bandage that restrained her movements. She was wrapped like a cocoon, and just her head was free.
"What, wait? what in the world... Why am I wrapped? Hurry up and release me this instant!" Nell tried to break free from the cocoon, but the exhausted and weakened her was helpless under the Goddess of Light\'s magic.
"Hum-hum, now you are neatly wrapped. You can\'t escape, and I\'ll take care of you later~" Elysia hummed with a faint smile. It looked funny because the cocoon in her hand was writhing and struggling, trying to break free but futile efforts.
"Please be quiet, or I\'ll wrap you into a complete cocoon." Elysia poked the cocoon. She didn\'t want to hear Nell squeak in protest.
Nell\'s mouth snapped shut in an instant as she saw the threat from the unspoken. She became a kind, obedient girl shortly after.
After that, Elysia gave her full attention to the devil in front of her. The target was secured, and she only needed to leave after finding out a bit of the fact from the Evil God\'s mouth. For some reason, she felt the Evil God staring at her dumbfoundedly?
"Very well, Evil God, allow me to introduce myself. You may call me Goddess of Light. May I know what you are going to do with that giant ball of energy? How do you make it anyway?" Elysia gave a little courtesy and went straight to the main point.
